US News Massive Comet Led The Earth To Experience a Mini Ice Age 13,000 Years Ago, Researchers Say

Alley Mills , who played Norma Arnold on The Wonder Years , revealed that a lawsuit filed against Fred Savage led to the beloved show ending after its sixth season. In an interview with Yahoo published on Friday, January 26, Mills said of the hit ABC series, “When we shot the series finale … nobody knew whether or not The Wonder Years was going to be renewed.”“And that’s because of a completely ridiculous sexual harassment suit that was going on against Fred Savage — who is, like, the least offensive, most wonderful, sweet human being that ever walked the face of the Earth,” the actress, 66, explained.

Toward the end of the ice age , a massive firestorm broke out after fragments of a comet that measured more than 60 miles wide, struck the planet. Dust clouds created from the fire went on to cover the Earth leading to a mini ice age , according to an international team of scientists.

Dust clouds created from the fire went on to cover the Earth leading to a mini ice age , according to an international team of scientists. The team of researchers came to this hypothesis after examining samples of rock and other deposits collected from more than 170 sites across the globe.

“The hypothesis is that a large comet fragmented and the chunks impacted the Earth, causing this disaster,” Adrian Melott, study author and emeritus astrophysics professor at The University of Kansas, said in a statement.

A New Dinosaur Discovery Could Shed Light on the Final Age of the Dinosaur in Africa

A new dinosaur of titanic proportions unearthed in the Egyptian desert could help scientists shed light on the history of dinosaurs in Africa.&nbsp;The find, named Mansourasaurus shahinae and described in a paper published Monday in the journal Nature, “is the most completely preserved land-living vertebrate” from the end of the Cretaceous Period ever found on mainland Africa, the study’s authors write.

Melott and his colleagues work, which is broken up into two studies published in The Journal of Geology, also conclude that pieces of the comet—that they believe hit the planet about 13,000 years ago—are still floating around in our solar system.

In addition to rocks and glaciers, the team also examined pollen. The pollen levels they saw led them to believe that the fire burned off acres of pine forests, which were later replaced with poplar trees that colonized the open land.

The driver left deep prints in the Nazca Lines, a UNESCO World Heritage site.The driver left "deep prints in an area approximately 100 meters long," and damaged part of three geoglyph lines, according to a statement given to Agence France-Presse.

Other types of plants and food sources were affected too, which ultimately lead humans to adapt to severe conditions.

“Computations suggest that the impact would have depleted the ozone layer, causing increases in skin cancer and other negative health effects,” Melott said. “The impact hypothesis is still a hypothesis, but this study provides a massive amount of evidence, which we argue can only be all explained by a major cosmic impact.”

Although previous researchers have suggested a comet kicked off the Earth’s mini age, the latest body of work adds perhaps the most in-depth dive into the theory.

Scientists to explore an underwater world near Antarctica that's been hidden for 120,000 years .
A team of scientists is heading to Antarctica this week to investigate a mysterious marine ecosystem that’s been hidden for tens of thousands of years. The ecosystem was suddenly uncovered when a massive iceberg sheared off from the Larsen Ice Shelf last July. The 1 trillion-ton iceberg, known as A-68, was twice of the volume of Lake Erie when it broke off.The scientists will travel by ship to collect animal and plant samples from the newly exposed seabed, which covers an area of around 2,200 square miles. They will be in the area about three weeks.
